Below and above are links for just some of the many hikes
in the Adirondacks that we have enjoyed over the years. We have some hikes listed below, use the regional
links and the listings of the different state lands to find many more hiking
adventures in the area. We are always updating and adding more links as we

Hiking in the Adirondacks is
very popular, whether it's in the spring, summer or fall. There are nearly 2000 miles of trails
in the park. In the winter you'll find folks snowshoeing and cross country
skiing on the trails. The Adirondack Mountain Club (ADK) is the main hiking club
of this area
and do much of the trail maintenance in the Adirondacks. Without
support with donations and volunteers, many of the trails would fall
into disrepair. Be sure to donate to a local ADK group today! Check
out our
Hiking Clubs
web page
to find a local ADK Hiking Club. Be sure to buy ADK Hiking Guides to
support the work that they do in the Adirondacks!

The Adirondack Park is
a six-million acre patchwork of public and private lands located in northeastern
New York. The area was designated in 1892 to protect the region from
uncontrolled forest clearing that was common during the 1800s. Today, the Park
contains a thriving mix of forests, wetlands, waterways, and human settlement.

The Adirondack Forest Preserve
is defined as the 2.6 million acres of state land within the Adirondack Park.
Look below for a list of all the different state lands located within this
amazing park as well as a few of the hundreds of possible hiking adventures in the
Adirondacks. You'll find more Adirondack hike links from the different
state land pages.

We've split the huge Adirondack Park into
eight sections to make planning your next Adirondack adventure easy.
